Increased Enforcement Collections) For Fiscal Year 2011-12, the
Department of Revenue shall continue its efforts pertaining to
increased enforcement collections as established in Fiscal Year
2009-10.The department may collect
revenues from foreign collections within its jurisdiction, which
may include but is not limited to corporate, individual or sales
tax collections but especially shall focus on enforced
collections and outstanding liabilities.Funding previously received
by the department for enforced collections shall be used to fund
foreign auditors to conduct foreign audits of multi-national and
international corporations. Personnel may include revenue
officers and criminal investigators. These employees will focus
on collecting outstanding liabilities owed to this state.During the current fiscal
year, in applying the revenue statutes of this State, the
department's interpretation of those statutes must be based
solely on the plain meaning of the statute's text and the
legislative intent giving rise to the enactment of the statutes.
Terms contained in the tax statutes of this State may not be
given broader meaning beyond the meaning of the statute. At
least twice during the fiscal year, the department shall submit
a report to the Chairman of the Senate Finance Committee and the
Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee regarding any
discovered ambiguity in the meaning of a revenue statute. The
first report must be submitted no later than November first and
the second report must be submitted no later than May first of
the fiscal year.The funds collected under this
provision shall be deposited in a fund separate and distinct
from the general fund as established within the Office of the
State Treasurer, except that any motor fuel funds collected as a
result of the enforced collection efforts shall be distributed
in the same manner as other motor fuel tax revenues are
currently distributed.When the department
determines that quarterly enforced collections have exceeded the
schedule provided in this provision, the department shall
deposit the excess funds into the separate and distinct fund not
to exceed the totals as provided in this provision. The State Treasurer shall disburse
funds in the following manner.Prior to the close of the
books on Fiscal Year 2011-12, the funds accumulated in the
aforementioned separate and distinct fund shall be transferred
to the General Reserve Fund, up to the amount necessary to meet
the constitutional five percent requirement.To insure that customary and
usual enforced collections are unaffected by this provision, the
Office of the State Treasurer may not disburse funds from this
account until the following schedule of General Fund enforced
collections are deposited by the Department of Revenue by the
end of each quarter in the fiscal year. If quarterly General
Fund enforced collections do not reach the required levels,
distributions from this account are suspended for that quarter.
The required deposits of quarterly General Fund enforced
collections by the end of each quarter are:July to
September 2011
$11,250,000October
to December 2011 $22,500,000January

shall report on a quarterly basis to the finance committees of
the General Assembly and to the Board of Economic Advisors on
the amount of customary and usual enforced collections and the
excess collections from the enhanced collection activities. The
Department of Revenue shall provide assistance to the Board of
Economic Advisors to assist in monitoring revenue collection
seasonal flows that impact the funding of state government
programs.By this provision these funds
are deemed to have been received and are available for
appropriation.Unexpended funds appropriated
pursuant to this provision may be carried forward to succeeding
fiscal years and expended for the same purpose./
